Thanks to you both for responding. I agree - our pet gets better care, and we certainly do not wait as long in the veterinarian's office. These issues will worsen dramatically as more and more people in the aging demographic develop chronic conditions (like CRPS) that come with pain. I believe we all have a personal responsibility to tell our stories to help not only ourselves, but those who will come behind us. Some of the people on this FDA committee, and who work at the FDA, will have loved ones in their families who will need help, or will need help themselves. It looks a lot different when you are on the inside looking out. Well written, well thought out, reasonable descriptions of what has happened or is happening to you, or someone you love, will move them. I have seen it happen. Our doctors need to weigh in here, too.
